Hanlan's Point is located on the Toronto Island's, just a short ferry ride from Toronto's downtown core. The southern part of the beach has been designated as a clothing optional area since 2002.

Located between Patricia Beach and Grand Beach, you'll find Beaconia Beach, a 3-kilometre wide sandy beach. This beach is recognized as clothing-optional, but because it's located within a provincial park, it's recommended to head further north on the beach on weekends if you're planning to be nude. The beach is located about 50 kilometers outside of Winnipeg on the shores of Lake Winnipeg, and divided into clothing mandatory and clothing optional sections. Due to the fact the beach is also for those who like to swim the traditional way (i.e. covered up), there are many families who use the beach. Make sure you're well within the clothing optional range before disrobing.

On the shore of the Lac des Deux Montagnes, you'll find the beach at Oka Park, visited by naturists for more than 20 years. Being close to Montreal makes this beach a popular spot for sun seekers. The main beach is clothing mandatory, but you'll find the unofficial clothing optional section at the far east part of the park.

Crystal Crescent Beach in Nova Scotia's Crystal Crescent Beach Provincial Park is known as Halifax's formal nude ocean beach. There are three white sand beaches here, the first two of which are clothing mandatory and the third beach is clothing optional.
